"It's like a Gen-X 'Murder, She Wrote'."

You remember that Law & Order: CI episode I mentioned yesterday? Here's the episode's short thread on the TWoP Forums. It contains a few inappropriately humorous comments involving confusion:

That was Ethan Embry? What happened?

KFC references:

he still looked like "original recipe" Ethan Embry in [Sweet Home Alabama]

and telling observations:

Brad Renfro is police custody on both TV and in real life. He must have graduated from the Robert Downey, Jr. School of Method Acting.

.

But I haven't gotten past Mr. Renfro yet

This is what greeted me on the Yahoo! front page this afternoon:

Heath Ledger found dead.

Shocked, I had to confirm this news with the most accurate source, Defamer:

Breaking: Heath Ledger is Dead. OMFG.

Then it was official.

In a twist of weirdness, this is the aforementioned episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent that I'm watching on USA right now. Ethan Embry is in the episode too. Score! Though he needs to do some cardio. Ethan's still okay, right?

FYI, I was going to put up the opening scene of 10 Things in which Allison Janney calls Heath "kangaroo boy." Then the bleacher scene appeared. I'm still welling up. :(
